We make some predications for 2008: A US Democrat will win in November, Northern Rock will be nationalised in January and in May either the Lib Dems or Tories are going to get egg on their face. We also consider whether Brown will still be in office in 2009.

The show was recorded on Wednesday 19th December 2007. If you want to contact us our email address is realpolitikpodcast@gmail.com. We’ll be back in three weeks on 8th January 2008. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
